Hansom Hall

Hansom Hall is a characterful event venue in central Leicester, set within Leicester Adult Education College. The Grade II listed building dates from the nineteenth century and offers a distinctive setting for organisers seeking a venue with historic character and flexible uses.

The main hall can host conferences, meetings, training sessions, comedy, concerts, exhibitions and themed events. Its layout can be arranged for different formats, with capacity depending on the seating plan, performance requirements and equipment. The venue also has a smaller hall, classrooms, a lower gallery and the Old Library Café, which can be hired separately or in combination. This range of spaces suits events of different sizes, from smaller sessions and talks to larger public gatherings.

Meeting rooms have Wi-Fi, computers, projectors and interactive whiteboards. The college can also provide light refreshments, including tea, coffee, juice, cake and biscuits. The lower gallery is available for exhibitions, offering wall space for displaying artwork and other work. Organisers can contact the events team to discuss the rooms, availability, access arrangements and practical requirements, or to arrange a viewing.

Located on Belvoir Street in Leicester city centre, Hansom Hall is a flexible option for event planners arranging a business gathering, cultural programme, performance or exhibition. Its combination of a prominent main hall and supporting spaces makes it possible to plan different parts of an event within the same venue.
